What firms have the least hours? Are there any firms (preferably in South Florida) where the norm where busy season almost never goes over 50 hours a week and the rest is generally 40 hours most of the time?

I kinda like being able to switch clients every few months or weeks and every industry job I look into just seems so boring.

I’ve been out on STD and am supposed to head back mid next week. Just thinking about work or starting to talk about work gets my anxiety up.

I wish I could not go back and stay home. But we can’t afford it. I need to set some boundaries when I get back but I know that won’t happen.

Any tips/tricks/luck to get me through?

Any one in here an introvert, but also have an avoidant personality?

Does any one else have students that consistently act like it is day one when you ask them a question? Like they have never heard of the topic that they just spent a week on?

With over 5 years of experience in modeling and commercials, I'm looking forward to new opportunities in digital media. I always believe that it's never too late to start. Any tips for people transitioning from a career in entertainment to another like myself?

Any recommendations for a clean yoga studio in dt toronto?

Kinda sick of small ones with tiny change rooms and classes were everyone is packed like sardines.

These places have crazy margins I bet so pls let me know of one that ensures quality for customers.

Went to an open house over the weekend and really loved the house, but this is earlier than we had planned to buy, so we are still working on saving. It sounds like the buyer wants to move quickly, so they would be willing to work with us. Wondering what people’s impression would be of the following type of offer: professional loan, so 0% down, and offer around $10k over asking in exchange for the seller covering closing costs (basically so that we roll them into mortgage)...cont

I’m considering buying the Remarkable2 note taking tablet and looking for anyone who has used one and their thoughts. I like taking notes by hand but would like to have all my notes in one place and ability to keep them digitally. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m looking to move in a mid size audit firm (RSM, GT other..). I am promoted to S2 in Big4. How are the hours in audit financial services ? Is it slightly better ? I’m utilized > 100% all year, averaging 60hr.

Hi Ladies! I have a room available with a shared bathroom in Palms Los Angeles. If you or anyone you know might be interested - please DM me. Rent 1100 - available Oct 1! :)

Senior Consultants:

What's your total comp currently? Are you satisfied?

So the general consensus is if you’re asked to do 8+ hours of work on a file, have it reflected on your schedule... I have a bunch of clean up for my last file because of review notes left on my last day/client gave more support on last day. But I’m already fully booked on another file all of next week - what should I do?

For people that have worked abroad in public accounting, at what point in your career were you able to do so? Which firm was it? And did they pay you US wages or did they pay you based on local wages?

Fellow auditors, I’ve got a question for ya. To what’s extent is the song “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC relevant to our profession? I feel like it’s very relevant IMO. Yes, I know it’s a JoJo reference

Is busy season at mid tier firms (GT, BDO, Etc) worse/longer than compared to big 4? Or is it just my experience/perception? (Cont...)

Can someone explain auditing a funds flow for an acquisition to me 🥺

Might be a repetitive question, but what is each Big4s 401k match?

So I met up with an old friend of mine and she is not working at the moment. She was a senior level auditor. I thought about asking her to come back to public accounting and decided not to because this job sucked so much. I know it is bad, why did I put myself through and made second year audit manager.

Would you leave a great team for another big 4 or industry for an earlier promo / pay bump? I love my team and work right now but I really am not happy with the pay...

What if we all planned an audit mutiny. Then the sec and world would have to give into our demands and pay us more. If we all ban together we can pull this off.

Could someone explain what finance closing process is? I passed CPA and have audit experience but I don’t really understand how industry accounting cycle works :( What does it mean to close the books? Are they referring to 12/31 deadline? Do all JE have to be recorded within this date? How does one close it?

Big 4 vs a mid tier firm and why? (Audit)

I've decided that I'm quitting this coming summer after busy season, as jobs have already been scheduled. I can't take much more of this; my mental health is suffering terribly because of this job. :(

Any opening for resource management roles in big 4?

What do audit managers+ think when they hear staff & seniors talking about getting out of audit and going to TAS/FDD/Deals? Did you have similar thoughts at some point?
